How many switches in a network with dsl modem

[zia_78]

I live in Saudia and using STC Afaq Shamil DSL, I wanna know that how many switches we can add to extend our netwrok with STC dsl modem.

The limit is not how many switches but how many unique mac addresses the router use. There is also a limit on how many nat entries the router have in memory.

This number is normally well over 1000 machines but in most cases you will run out of internet bandwidth well before you exceed the other limits.
